  Aug 12, 202645 minS2

  Eva Noblezada is in the Drama Club and nothing is off limits. The Broadway powerhouse joins Matty for a hilarious and deeply candid conversation about Hadestown , The Great Gatsby , finding her voice, falling in love with Reeve Carney, and the wild journey from teenage Jimmy Awards finalist to Broadway leading lady. Eva opens up about the difficult personal chapter she was navigating during Hadestown , what reuniting with the show meant to her, and why watching the filmed production finally felt like closure. She and Matty also get VERY honest about the realities of working on Broadway: injuries, the eight-show week, performer pay, producer power, social media bullies, bad audience behavior, and why the industry could use a little more grace. Plus: marrying Reeve in New Orleans, tarot cards, ghost tours, future kids, wedding advice, and Eva proudly declaring, “I love bullying bullies.” Come join the Drama Club!

  John Riddle: Why Broadway Has a PR Problem

  Aug 7, 202648 minS2

  John Riddle — "the gay guy who plays straight guys on Broadway" (Phantom, Frozen, and now the hit Titanic parody) — joins Matty this week. John gets into what it takes to play straight for a living, why he's unapologetically "old school" about eight shows a week, and Broadway's pricing and PR problem. He also talks the humbling years he spent between Broadway shows, nearly getting scammed on a Facebook Marketplace couch, the one duet he'd ban from Broadway forever, dream-casting Jane Krakowski as Celine Dion, and the backstage antics of a Titanic cast that includes Jim Parsons, Deborah Cox, Melissa Barrera, and Frankie Grande. Plus his new album, Blue Lady. Watch the full episode on YouTube and follow the show on Instagram and TikTok: @dramaclubwithmatty Follow Matty: @mattymaggiacomo

  Elizabeth Teeter: I Booked Heathers Without Knowing the Show | Drama Club with Matty

  Jul 29, 202655 minS2

  Heathers and Beetlejuice star Elizabeth Teeter joins Matty for this week's episode — and she's the show's first Gen Z guest. Elizabeth talks reuniting with her father, Broadway's Lara Teeter, on stage at The Muny this summer, and makes her case for banning eight shows a week. She also gets into the "sun and moon" of playing Heather McNamara and Lydia Deetz, why Broadway is way less glamorous than fans imagine, getting cast in Beetlejuice right before the pandemic shutdown, a Helen Mirren story she'll never forget, and the parasocial fan edits that make it look like she died ("I'm alive!"). Plus her music, her EP, and finishing her degree between shows.
